  • Multiphase topology-wide code modifications for peer-to-peer systems
    Patent number: 7979393
    Abstract: Systems and methods that supply changes on-the-fly and without breaking execution of codes for schema changes in a peer-to-peer environment. The modification component supplies changes to peers or nodes in a topology by initially identifying dependencies (e.g., multiple level) that can be affected by the schema change, followed by performing the schema change to the codes or stored procedures. Accordingly, dependencies in an entire system can be refreshed, wherein multiple levels of dependencies can exist.

  • ORIGINATION BASED CONFLICT DETECTION IN PEER-TO-PEER REPLICATION
    Publication number: 20100125557
    Abstract: Systems and methods that enable conflict detection in a peer-to-peer replication by embedding origination information in data records. A tracing component can track embedded information in form of peer ID and transaction ID, wherein conflicts can be detected by comparing a pre-version (prior to current version) of data on the source node—with—a current version of the data on the destination node.
